With its stunning lakeside location, this four-star hotel boasts breathtaking views of the tranquil Lough Leane and the surrounding Killarney National Park, providing an idyllic escape for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation.

Guests can unwind in the luxurious surroundings or take advantage of the extensive leisure facilities, including a fully equipped fitness centre, a relaxing spa, and an indoor pool.

The Lake Hotel owners, the Huggard family, were recently delighted to reach the magical centenary after 100 wonderfully enterprising and successful years during which they have earned a deserved reputation as one of the great pioneering families in Irish hospitality.

In 1940, the Huggard family purchased The Lake Hotel, which dates back to 1820 and boasts spectacular views of Killarney’s world-famous scenery.

The Huggards were blessed with seven children, many of whom went on to leave a hugely positive imprint on Irish tourism and the hotel industry. The Lake Hotel is now personally run by Tony, Colman, Niall, and Joe Huggard, and it has enjoyed remarkable success, including the receipt of several national quality awards for cuisine, quality, service, and hospitality.
